Common Language Runtime Can exploit .NET applications and

XML Web service. Can develop application software

by Drag & Drop operation visually.

Can improve productivity by Custom Control.

Native Client Executes Computer Binary Code. Can derive functions and

performance of the devices at most.

Can optimize performance and process speed.

Note: Before building the program, it is necessary to connect the IT-3100 to the PC by Active Sync. Active Sync can be download from Microsoft Web site.

USB


The application program will be downloaded to the IT-3100 after compiling.If breakpoints are set, the program stops at each point while the IT-3100 is connected as remote connection.

eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0

High speed processing It is expected that an application program which is created by

eVC++ 4.0 will run faster than those created by Visual Basic .NET or C#.NET created by VisualStudio 2005 or VisualStudio .NET2003. The reason is that codes compiled by eVC++4.0 are CPU native codes, on the other hand, codes created by VB or C# are intermediate codes therefore an application program by eVC++40 runs faster than one created by VB or C# theoretically.

Please download Embedded Visual C++4.0 from Microsoft Web site.

Set IT-3100 to Target.

Mark the check box on “Use WCE500

Tools”.

A skeleton program will be automatically created. Execute “build” after setting IT-3100 as Target.

Bluetooth Mcr Printer Sobr

When you use these device control library on emulator, emulator devices willResponse these setting parameter or data.And when you change these file detail, you can get your expected value.

Example for using print out demo program

If we run such kind of barcode printOut program on emulator, we can getPrint out image as bitmap file.

“PrinterImage.bin” file will be created in“C:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce500\IT-3100\Emulation\Ctrl\Printer”Folder. After that you should execute “makePrnData.bat” file.Then “TEMP.BMP” file will be created in same folder.TEMP.BMP file is print out image file like below.
